Counting Carbs In a Cutting Diet
Before I ask my question here's a few stats: 5'9, 195lbs, 11-12% fat, training for almost 10 years.
Currently I'm doing a cutting diet which consists of 100g carbs on workout days and 70g carbs on off days. Everything else is in check. My question has to do with my workout days...do you think i would benefit by raising my carb intake to around 125-130 from another PWO meal after my shake?
If i do this should i lower my carbs to 50 on non-workout days? OR should i just keep it at 100g Carbs on workout days but just eliminate my oats in the morning for the second PWO meal?
Let me know whatcha guys think...the reason i eat carbs for breakfast is because i know glycogen levels can be pretty depleted after an 8 hour fast...
Also you should probably know that i work out 3 days a week, do cardio 5 days on an empty stomach in the AM, and carb up on Saturday. Any opinions would be great. Sorry for the long winded post...oh and i do separate carbs and fat and know all about that too. Thanks guys
